- Full virtual desktop support spanning all connected displays with arbitrary resolutions, positions, and DPI. - Full virtual desktop support spanning all connected displays with arbitrary resolutions, positions, and DPI scaling.
- Automatically calculates distinct taskbar/work-area floors for each screen. - **Live Hotplug Detection**: Listens to Win32 `WM_DISPLAYCHANGE` and `WM_SETTINGCHANGE` system events (with a 1.5s background check) to dynamically detect when monitors are connected, disconnected, rearranged, or when display resolution/scaling changes.
- Seamlessly handles elevation differences (e.g. stepping off higher floors into gravity falls, or leaping up steep monitor steps). - Automatically recalculates screen bounds and taskbar floors in real-time, clamping the cat into valid active displays so it never gets stranded off-screen.
- Seamlessly navigates elevation differences between monitors (e.g. stepping off higher floors into gravity falls, or leaping up steep monitor steps).
